But no, it hasn't got much easier. The restrictions on providing detailed trip plans with flight bookings and hotel reservations seems no longer required, but overall:
visas are harder to get for longer periods
it is getting more expensive to get visas
the number of extensions isn't so easy to get - should be 2 but some people only getting one extension
some nationalities are having to return home to get visas for China
it some cases, proof of funds is required for visas or extensions
less F or business visas are being issued
it is getting more difficult to upgrade a tourist visa to a business visa
